This couldn't be politically motivated could it?

For the third straight year the United States has put Venezuela on the list of countries that have "failed demonstrably" to curb drug trafficking. It shares the honour with Burma but not Colombia, Pakistan or Afghanistan. Curious innit?

I also defy anyone to spend a hour or so walking through any American city and then be able to logically argue that the good old US of A doesn't also belong on a list of countries that have "failed demonstrably" to curb drug trafficking.
